    How are you finding the sound after cutting? I'm thinking of a dremel to cut the tip...

    It sounds much better, its still loud but not to the point of driving me crazy.

    I've got at a areo resonater in front of my AT. Depending on how much drown you can tolerate, ya might want one of those magnapack's in front of the AT.

    If you have access to a sawsall which is a reciprocating blade, it may be a easier way to cut the bell end off. Dremels are great for small job's but something like this may burn your dremel up. But if you do try with the dremel, have plenty of discs for stainless steal cutting.
    Be careful those dremel are pretty crazy at high speeds. Good luck.

    Its time for Jameson and Red Bull oh can't wait for the Irish car bomb...woot woot!

    Depends...do ya want a smooth or raspy sound?
    Anything that has packing is smooth sounding, the aero is has no packing.

    I put a 3.5 x 12in ss tip on my tail pipe.
    It made a big difference in sound. It smoothed the sound out and cut out a lot of the interior resonation.
    Ir was a bit surprizing, but needed.

    You're absolutely right. :)
    I learned what you said by personal experience when I put a Magnaflow on my 2.7 and it lost some low end torque, It was a straight through model.

    [​IMG]

    So I put the stock muffler back on. It's not worth losing low end torque just to gain sound. It also resonated at 2,000 which is where I run the engine all the time. After a while it got on my nerves.

    Just ordered an AT2525 from ebay. Should have it installed by Friday. I went with the 2525 instead of the XL cause Some of the sound clips of the XL sounded iffy. I know itll probably be too loud but this way I can play around with different resonators to get the right sound. More expensive but I don't want to do this again. I have a spintech and hate it.

    Depends. Do you know how to install a muffler? If you have to ask... its probably a job better suited for the shop

    Ordered my 2525XL !! Hopefully not to loud. Has anybody had the material in the built in resonator degrade and get louder?

    Just got my AT 2525Xl installed!! Wow do I love it! Swapped out a 24" MF in which ended up being to quiet. This however is a perfect balance between too quiet and too loud. Just as they describe " medium" sound level.
    Overall I highly recommend this muffler!!

    Is there any cutting involved to get the aero one to fit in the same place as the stock first gen one?
